The pad is so arranged that the mo ableknife engages with the edge thereof at each move- .lnent and draws awaysnilicient oil to keep the knives properly lubricated, the distributionof the oil being assisted by the rapid operation of the n'iovable knifewhich, at each out'stroke, will tend to throw the iihn of oil upward andthus cover the entire surface exposed to friction. It will be apparentthat this pad is in Contact at times with a portion of the movableknife. This autooxalic luln-ieation is found to materially lengthen thelives of the knives and materially improves the ruining of the machine.

liming thus described my invention, What claim. and desire to secure byLetters Patent is 1; A movable knife, a lixed knife, and a lubricantsaturated pad held against the fixed kn fe and in Contact also with aportion of the movable knife.

2. in combination, a fixed knife, a lubri-' cant saturated pad, a clampfor holding the pad against the knife, and a movable knife coacting'with said fixed knife.

.ln combination, a fixed knife having a finger projecting beyond itscutting edge, an l..-shaped pad, a clamp for holding the pad against theknife, and a movable knife c0- acting with the fixed knife.

4L. In combination, a pair of cutting knives, one of which is movablewith respect to the other, one of said knives having a projecting fingerin constant engagement with the other knife and maintaining said knivesin proper relative position, and a lubricant saturated pad held incontact with a portion of the movable knife and also held against theother knife.

knives, one of which is movable with respect to the other and havingcutting edges, one of said knives having a projecting linger in contactwith the other knife to maintain said knives in proper relativeposition, and a lubricant saturated pad held against said knives at apoint below the cutting contact of said knives.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature, in presence of two Witnesses.
